UMVIM is proud to announce an event called “Connect”. This mission summit will bring together volunteer and mission leaders to create a path during a new era of the United Methodist Church.
As the denomination moves toward regionalization, Connect will provide an opportunity to gather the national UMVIM board (VIM, Inc.), Jurisdictional UMVIM Coordinators and Boards, Conference UMVIM Coordinators, Conference Disaster Response Coordinators, leaders from Global Ministries and UMCOR, as well as Bishops representing the Jurisdictional Colleges to envision UMVIM’s future in the United Methodist Church and beyond.
